At Rest

Vehic/Purs
Officers tried to stop Heather Barnes because of erratic driving at about 11:45 p.m. near 72nd and Grover Streets. Police said Barnes stopped, but then drove off before losing control of her Ford pickup truck and hitting a curb. The truck rolled several times, ejecting Barnes, who police found lying in the Villa Estates trailer court parking lot. Critically injured in the crash, Barnes remained in a vegetative state for nearly six years at a care center before she died on September 15, 2009.
This record exists so that Heather M. Barnes, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
